Here Today, Here Tomorrow: Transforming Your Workforce from High-Turnover to High-Retention

Description

Employee Retention Books Abound! Here is One That Provides Solutions

The cost of attracting, recruiting, hiring, training and getting new people up to speed is tremendously more costly as well as more wasteful than most realize. Productivity is directly tied to employee retention. Studies from the Gallup organization show employees who have an above average attitude toward their work will generate 38 percent higher customer satisfaction scores, 22 percent higher productivity and 27 percent higher profits for their companies.

In this book, you’ll read about companies with work environments that attract and retain people—and where people are willing to give their best. These environments aren’t expensive. In fact, they save money. In most cases, they improve retention and productivity without lavish salaries or bonuses. And they certainly lower the expense of continually hiring and training new people.
